During today’s regular city council meeting, Mayor Butts accepted full responsibility in admitting to turning left, into oncoming traffic, which caused a multi party accident that left an Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Motor Officer with serious injuries.
Agenda items 9 and 10 were pulled related to awarding sound proofing contracts to HHJ Construction. Public Records Requests to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have gone unanswered to learn how much has been drawn down on the most recent grant awarded to the city of Inglewood. The current contract mandates that the Inglewood Police Department (IPD) create a distracted driver awareness campaign.
